I had read that ronan was 5ft9 and everytime i saw him on tv i thought that looked about right to be honest.
But if people say he is 5ft8, that suprises me slightly now, but i wouldnt argue it.

my sister got a photo with him at the melbourne cup, she woulda been in 2.5 inch heels max, he wuold of been in 1.25 inch dress shoes...she had about 2 to 3 inches on this guy and she is roughly my height which is just under 5 foot 9...this guy is about 5 foot 8, definately not 5 foot 6 John says on 14/Oct/09
Met him, I'm 5'7 which is average for an Irish guy and was the same height as him Random Person says on 13/Oct/09
5'8, correct. Eveline says on 24/Aug/09
He's taller, about 5.9 (178 cm). I'm 182 cm and he's only a bit shorter... Hugh 191cm says on 21/Aug/09
5ft8 is about right. Karla says on 2/Apr/09
Just to add. When he did the Kilimanjaro climb he looked just a fraction taller than Gary Barlow who is 5ft 7 1/2ins. Karla says on 2/Apr/09
I did some tv filming with Ronan a few months back, I had heels on which made me about 5ft 3ins and Ronan was about 5 inches taller than me, he did not have any heels on either. I have a photo of us together as proof. So I'd say he was about 5ft 8ins. littlesue says on 12/Mar/09
He says in this months SHE mag that if there was one thing he could change about himself would be his height, he reckons he is 5ft 9 1/2 MacGyver fan says on 8/Feb/09
All I can say is he looks similar to Elton John in a video I saw where they do "Your Song" together. Ant says on 23/Jan/09
This is gonna seem like i have something against Ronan, he seems in all interviews like a thoroughly nice chap. however this site is about the height of celebrities and this guy bearly scrapes 5ft 8 in his shoes. I am only so adamant because i have stood right next to him then listened to ten very amused hairdressers comment on how little he was. I have 5ft 8 and 5ft 7 friends and i would put money on Ronan keating being no more than 5ft 6 barefoot. He has done alright for himself though his wife was lovely. Leung says on 9/Nov/08
5’8” looks right, Ronan Keating was slightly taller than Rove last night. Vibram says on 6/Oct/08
Vegas, Gary Player's listed 5'7" would be his prime-age height recorded when he first signed professional terms. Now and old man in his 70's... he would've lost an inch or more since his playing prime (1960's/70's), so we could say 5'6" or 5'5.5" for Player. Keating is no more than 5'7", he's more like in the 5'6.5" range at most. I saw Keating stood next to ex-footballer Gary Lineker (who's a legitimate 177cm) on a charity golf tv match, and Lineker had him by at least 6cm. Rob has to downgrade this wee Irish fella! Leo says on 16/Sep/08
5ft 7, perhaps 5ft 8 in shoes. Vegas says on 10/Sep/08
keating with 5'7 listed golfer gary player Click Here max says on 24/Jul/08
Ronan Keating, 5'8?? Really, now. I saw this guy when Boyzone performed in Manila in the late 90s-- he was over 22 y/o, and definitely shorter than 5'8. Definitely. If Ryan Seacrest is not very tall, this one's even shorter. He's like 5'5-5'6.
Also, Keating is standing upright, looking up straight, and Glenda's shoulders are up while her head and neck are lowered. The lady in the Timberland shirt looks more 5'8 than Keating does, and the soles on her shoes are even considerably thinner than Keating's. Vegas says on 28/Jun/08
ronan with 5'10 listed model glenda gilson (dark hair), the other girl the late katie french was also a model Click Here
based on that photo the reports of 5'3-5'4 further down this page are wrong, he looks at least 5'7 next to gilson, her model agency bio Click Here Ant says on 20/May/08
I will say again and i have no reason to tell porkies this guy is short he isn't 5ft 8, if he is over 5ft 6 then I am 6ft (i'm not), I am sure he is a nice guy but this site is about height and no matter how much women may love him he is well below average. John says on 14/May/08
I stood next to him a few years ago, he's tiny. No more than 5'6", I would say more like 5'5".
Look at this picture.
Click Here TJ says on 8/May/08
Chris never properly measured people on TFI. For a start, they tended to have shoes on and also he was very vague with the placement of the line above their head. I mean he had Sheryl Crowe at 5'6 lol - included her massive heels and was placing it a little over her head. Chuck says on 3/May/08
His wife, Yvonne, used to be a supermodel. Supermodels are usually above 5'9, and Yvonne is always wearing heels. You would assume she towers over Ronan, but in every picture they're about the same height (including Yvonne's heels). So how is it possible that he's not any taller than 5'8? Missy says on 19/Mar/08
Ant is right, he's tiny. I saw him in concert last July and he walked through the crowd, was only just my height and I'm 5ft 6 tops. Ant says on 11/Feb/08
Saw him at a hairdressers in England, he is tiny 5ft 6 tops. I am 5ft 10 I was miles taller he had big shoes on as well. Emma says on 7/Oct/07
Yes definitely less than 5'8... I met him yesterday and I was considerably taller than he was!!! I reckon he's 5'6 or 5'7.... radio_man says on 5/Sep/07

i've stood beside this guy and im 5ft 7in and he defo no taller than me. Leanne says on 20/Dec/06
I'm 5'7" and when I've met him he doesn't seem that much taller than me. rush says on 30/Aug/06
5"8 definately celebrity golf all star competition, u cant wear lifts with golf shoes. Some Guy says on 6/Jul/06
He was just on a TV show in Austrailia and quoted his height at "5'9" ish. Thats exactly what he said. Harry says on 6/Jul/06
On rove live, rove asked him straight out how tall he was. Ronan said he was 5'9" but he likes to say he is 5'10". They stood up next to each other, rove looked 2 inches shorter. Wicked Kid says on 29/May/06
Haha. Anonymous is so over the top. There's no way that Keating can be less than 5'7". He'd be a midget if he was. And he certainly looks normal.
[Editor Rob: his claim is 5ft 10, either way he is embelishing the truth. 3 inches though...well, you never know, maybe he counts his shoes+lift!] Anonymous says on 16/Mar/06
Several years ago my wife and I ran into Ronan Keating and the rest of Boyzone in the lobby of a hotel we were staying in. I'm 100% sure it was him because we heard him speaking to several girl fans. We stood next to them for a long time. I'm 6'2", my wife is 5'8" and doesn't wear heels, he was much smaller than her and I'm talking at least 4 inches. At the time I can remember my wife saying he was no taller than 5'3" or 4". It amazes me that he is taller than some other people on TV, I reckon the man has seriously built-up shoes. Editor Rob says on 13/Mar/06
In Daily Mail [I'm paraphrasing] he said that his height of "5ft 10" was ok for the ladies, but he wished he'd have hit the 6ft mark. desen nick name nutter says on 1/Feb/06
i met ronan keating and i'm not sure how tall he is but his taller than me. i think his about 5 foot 8 mabey 9 leonari says on 1/Sep/05
ROB: The guy is 5'7" not a tad below nor a above. His cowboyboots and well proportioned rather skinny frame create the illusion of height. Get him down...at least 0.5 inch. PLEASE Anonymous says on 31/Aug/05
6 foot Damian Lewis as his partner absolutely towered over him in that celebrity golf tournament, and not just by four inches. Rob there's no way Ronan is 5'8, to be honest I really think he is definitely no more than 5'6, maybe even 5'5 and a half. Due for a downgrade in height this one. He was the smallest man there, every other golfer and every single other person that I saw like caddys,fans, tv crew etc were taller than him, that would indicate that he is a very short man, someone who is a true 5'8 would not be dwarfed by every other male but he was. I was shocked myself because I didn't think he was that small. This mightn't be the best photo, but it's a reference point to what I'm talking about.

I can take this guy down to 5ft 8, but 5ft 7??? Maybe what the other comment on this page said is true...dodgy footwear! Anonymous says on 30/Apr/05
As A Personal Friend Of Mr Keatings,
I can confirm, In One Of Our Conversations, He Stated
"I Am 5ft 7in, But Wear Large Heeled Shoes" This Should Clear It Up...
[Editor Rob: Yes, I think he could be a bit shorter, but 5ft 7? I could see 173/174 possibly...hmm] pete says on 30/Apr/05
The guy is barely 5ft6 hes SHORT |
